2ch *

Outputs audio from the FRONT L and R terminals. If the source is multi-channel surround, this is downmixed into 2 channels. Use this setting when you have no multi-channel analog connections.

Multi Channel

Use this when the unit is connected to an AV amplifier with

5.1 surround analog inputs. The sound is output from the six multi-channel analog outputs.

<Note that the audio volume changes when the mode is changed between 2-channel to multi-channel.

Also note that some DVD discs cannot be downmixed (from multi-channel to 2-channel). In these cases, no digital sound will be output.

<Speakers should be set up properly for multi-channel use. See page 36 for details.
